About Me

CURRENT MISSION

~`~`~BALANCE~'~'~

I am laidback, easy-going, and relaxed; but also adventurous and interested in many things. I like just walking around and exploring. I like to try new foods and drink with friends as well. I hope to spread peace and relaxation with those I meet.

PHILOSOPHY
understand that what we think is all relative, it was different in the past and will be different in the future, it is different in other cultures. an individual's perspective can change for the better with new experiences and challenges, 'keep a balanced perspective of the spectrum' we are fortunate.

Music, Movies, and Books

movies- so many, USA is great for movies!
books- Siddhartha (by Hesse) is a classic. I read mostly non-fiction (articles and such).
music- mostly everything with a good beat or good message

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

volunteered at an orphanage in the Dominican Republic, I was only there for two weeks but learned more about life there than anywhere else. Definitely expanded my perspective.
Snowboarding in Colorado was also pretty rad.
And studying tropical biology in Belize.
